what cars have/would you put an RB25det engine into that works???

i have a heavily worked rb25 and im looking to put it into something but not sure what. GTR or s15 are the first 2 that come to mind but it has to be possible and fairly easy to do aswell

best idea i've seen is a VOLVO wit an rb25 mildly modded at the time i saw it but plans for more,

no one would expect to get their ass kick by a volvo

but i suspect this idea is not for every1

s14's look hot with an rb under the bonnet rather then the pissy little sr. I couldn't personally bare to see anything other than rb26 in a GT-R, but it would be an easier conversion. Did you see the GT-R rolling shell I posted a link to in your other thread...

didn't nissan bring these out from factory? *runs from the stagea owners*

i wouldn't go with any car that had a stronger engine in it already (eg gtr). whats the point?but definately something lighter like a s14 or something. you do change the dynamics of thse cars quite badly when doing this ive heard. all depends on what you're using the car for - drift? circuit? drag? street? something to think about

Some dude in the WA forum put one in his LJ Torana. Castlemain rod shop do a conversion kit for a ,RB30 so stands to reason you could get a RB5 in one fairly easily with that kit. Would be heaps fast as torana is light as. Im trying to talk my cuz into doing this.

cheers

I think ive seen that car go by me, he "BOVed" me and i turned around to look and all i saw was a volvo, so i followed and he had a turbo volvo, i was pissing myself laughing.

I want a BMW M3 with an RB25DET in it. Ive seen one with a 2JZ, so i want a nissan version :P

don't you dare swap a M3 engine for a boat anchor RB.

also, Volvo made low pressure turbos from factory in the early/mid 90s... still a POS though

+1. the m3 motor is very good. around 170kw at the wheels from the non turbo 6. i went to a dyno comp with 1 there. an old guys car. was stock and made 171kw. won the NA 6 cylinder class easily.

as for what to swap it into, there are lots of options. just remeber that if you put it into an old car, you are still going to have old car handling. it may go fast in a straight line, but start praying when you get to a corner.

Yeah a mate of mine has an S13 with a 25 that has a 3037 strapped onto it, its just a little tail happy with 277kw at the wheels on 11psi lol

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
